Ever since I began wargaming, there has always been issues with scale discrepancies between models within a game. From FASA’s Battletech, to GW’s infamous Rhino that’s supposed to fit 10 Space Marines, to True-Scale debates, and so on.

Lately though with my head-long dive into Infinity the Game, there’s been a seemingly steady creep of scale differentials between old and new models for Corvus Belli. It has been said before that not every human being is the same height, armor adds bulk and height in different ways from different makes and models, but it can’t be ignored that the newer, 3D sculpted models are of a larger species than the older, more traditionally sculpted models.

What I won’t do here is carry the "True Scale/Marines just need to not bend their knees" debate into Infinity. That horse has been dead a long time. But let’s address the supposed “scale creep” of Infinity, shall we?

Try as I might to deny it, we’re coming up on the 1 year mark of me actually trying to get my health in order. November’s Update will be that 1 year mark, even if I didn’t start these updates until January of this year.

I've been in the miniature gaming scene since 1994 starting with FASA's Battletech and grew quickly into Games Workshop products.
I model, convert, sculpt and paint figs for this hobby and work in commissions as I am able.
I've been fortunate enough to win Player's Choice in the Chicago Grand Tournament in 2007, Best Artisan in a Combat Patrol tournament and Player's Choice at Adepticon 2010 and Best Artisan in a Combat Patrol again at Adepticon 2011.
Keep up on my projects on this blog, and feel free to contact me about the hobby or any commissions at: miniaturetim at gmail dot com
